Chef Oscar Monterroso

Private Chef In Greenacres

I have had over 12 years in the Restaurant business and 9 years as a Private Chef. I have never been more dedicated and passionate about producing high quality, creative and innovative dishes for my customers. Together with my clients and food personalities I try to identify the emerging tastes, trends, and flavors that will shape your food experience.

I have worked from the West Coast to the East Coast in restaurants such as Café Central (El paso) to Mediteraneo (Federal Hill Rhode Island). I studied at The Art Institute of Las Vegas to receive a certificate in Culinary Arts. I also have taken the Serve Safe food handler program which covers five key areas......

• Basic Food Safety

• Personal Hygiene

• Cross-Contamination & Allergens

• Time & Temperature

• Cleaning & Sanitation

For me, cooking is...

bringing different cultures and traditions together at the dinner table and enjoying them with friends and family.

I learned to cook at...

a Italian Restaurant called Marra's, but I definitely honed my skills by just being around amazing Chefs and amazing cooks in the kitchen.

A cooking secret...

is putting love into every dish and never taking short cuts.
